Eating clean and eating gluten free is a lot of work and involves a lot of preparation. It is also very expensive, so I spent a bit of time this morning preparing a shopping list so I wouldn't overspend. Actually saved myself 20 pounds so definitely was worth it. Even though its a lot of work I find the food a lot tastier as you are more inclined to try new things and eat fresh foods.
